If you lived around the corner I'd be around with 20 in hand. Good for spares.

Shipping down under would probably add $15. I could do $30 shipped to you if your still interested? I'll have to dig but may have another WenMac stashed somewhere.

Thanks for your kind offer, but see how you go locally first. At $20.00 I'm sure a local should snap them up.
To be honest, I don't really need anymore stuff than I have.......But around the corner would have worked well for us.
FWIW I'm not mean in anyway shape or form, so if I really want something I purchase it, but do you realize that with our Aussie dollar is against the mighty "greenback", we need to add 50% to the USA price........i.e. 30 = 45.

Re: Testors/WenMac engines and glow heads
Didn't the exchange rate was that bad. I see now that it's a bit expensive with the shipping add in. Ekitten bought my last batch of WenMac stuff a few years back. I usually end up with a few of these a year buying engine lots.

EKitten was lucky. Dollar was 1 for 1 back then, and he seems to have not been here for quite a while after his sad family problem. We did "talk" a bit at times.
Our dollar could be worse though. At one time when in Savanna SC ours was worth about 1/2 of yours back in the '90s. It made things very expensive for us, but fantastic for USA folk to visit Australia, as it is now, but of course is good for us selling goods to the USA.

I think the AU dollar makes about 74.5 US cents

You hit the nail on the head Gossie. I'd be in for a $30 pair of engines too if it was only $30. When I first discovered Bernie at Cox a few years ago our $ was down to 58 cents, so I had to minimise my purchasing. Since then the AU$ hs also been up to $1.12. Bought a lot of stuff at that point.. My income doesn't go up and down accordingly so I really have to keep a close eye on the current rates.
Re: Ekitten, I grabbed a Wen Mac Mk1 of him a couple of years ago. Maybe it was one of Jason's?? I also sold him a NIP Cox flywheel kit to suit a Space Bug. He ended up fitting it to an R/C Tee Dee powered boat. Never heard what the outcome was. I got the impression there was a serious illness in the family.

Not meaning to hijack your thread but on the subject of ekitten, he's next in line for the Traveling engine according to the list and I'm ready to send it when he's ready. Have any of you heard from him? (Bandit)
